A third possibility I can see is (like you said in your original mail - sorry I had forgotten about this detail) that you copied gnulib/build-aux/bootstrap to your_package/bootstrap manually and then ran it. Then, obviously, your intent was to upgrade to the newest 'bootstrap'. And since it now consists of 4 files, the script copied the 4 files altogether; if it did not do that, then you would have encountered an error, like Paul Eggert did in <https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2022-07/msg00060.html>. Is that understandable? Bruno
